Alot of upsets today!

Federer had a tough game against Andreev but was expected due to Andreev being the tour's right-handed version of Nadal (allbeit not as good). Serving was terrible however and the last set bagel was very deceptive. I think the semi's will be Federer vs Djokovic and Roddick vs Nadal though. Davydenko played well but at a GS Federer should be too much.wellyphoenixfan2010-01-19 21:38:51

Love this video from Andy Murray's first ATP tournament when he was much younger:
 
 
You don't see many points like that.

Was going to PM you and ask if you could compare Pastons last 5 games to Reddys games since being at the nix?

Hopefully the Erakovic match will be on the internet. Court 6 so probably not. Some good clashes tomorrow.

Also SB I am not going to start something but in short they have been pretty even.

Interesting to note that Murray is now wearing adidas (formerly Fred Perry) and Djokovic is in Sergio Tacchini (formerly adidas).

The outfit worn by Djokovic was atrocious - the shirt looked like something a late-90's bogan/magician from the Hutt would have been rocking.

Scotland update:
 
Sitting at 5 wins and 0 losses so far. Murray and Baltacha into third round. Fleming into second round of doubles.
 
Baltacha should lose her next against Safaina, but Murray looking good for the title. Fleming in the doubles has beaten the best, but still an underdog - with a chance though.
 
Shame that Blake couldn't beat Del Pothead last night.

Watched the Tomic-Cilic match till 3 in the morning. Quite good although I hate Tomic with a passion. Most arrogant tennis player I have ever seen, thinks he will "probably be better than Federer" one day! Murray fans (who like Murray for his playing style not country) should like him as they are near identical in playing style.wellyphoenixfan2010-01-21 12:23:32

did he say that?  what an arrogant c**t. I hated him enough already!
 
Baghdatis vs. Ferrer just starting, very even match up. Could easily go to 5 sets, 3+ hours.  I'm excited!

Tbh, I am getting annoyed at the tv coverage constantly cutting from decent matches to watch these crappy Australians - just because they're Australian! Let me watch the good tennis!

Last night I was annoyed they switched from Del Potro-Blake to Henin-Dementieva.

This Baghdatis-Ferrer match looks like it's going to go the distance!

Ivanovic out.

Father played for Ipswich.
 
He played for a Scottish club as well, before or after that. Capped for Russia many times... Elena's brother played Football for Scotland Under-21. One of those successful families.
 
Fed looked better last night (though against easier opposition than his first match).

More Tomic after he had to meet with officials after his comments about playing till two in the morning:

Q. Today's discussion has been about what you said rather than how you played, which seems a shame. Do you feel like you kind of learned a lesson as far as just being a little bit more careful in your post?match comments?

BERNARD TOMIC: No, not really. Haven't learned anything. What's there to learn? I just finished the match and I said a thing that I was probably ?? what was I supposed to say? It was 2:00 in the morning.

No, hopefully next schedule will be during the day when I play

yeah he is quite a cock..he claimed that he would have beaten Cilic if the game was during the day. Becuase of his age apparently.
